Numbering Lists for book

[Carol Gosnell]

Hi, 

 

I am sure someone knows the answer to this, but it is eluding me...

 

I am numbering graphics and tables in a multi-chapter book. The project
manager would like to generate one List of Figures and one List of
Tables (sequential numbers for each list).

How do I do that? Each chapter begins the numbering anew and the only
thing I can think of is to add a chapter prefix to the autonumbering in
the paragraph tag, but I'd rather have a much simpler list.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
